      THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT . ( Prom John Bull . ) R ; o < ler ! Soint Paul ' s cost thecouatry . € 730 752 2 i 3 ' . Tha Houses of Parliament will cost nearly , if not qulto , two millions . Look at tho two sums , look at the two structures , and than look at the discussion on tha Miscellaneous , _Eiimates which to « k place in the _Houso of Commons on Tuesday evening last . To hear Lord Moi path , one would think that England hardi ) knows what to do just now with her money , and that poor working people aro _actually suffering from a plethora of the good things of life . No one , we presume , Is _indisposed to give hon . gentlemen all the accommodation and comfort _thr-y can reasonably look for , or to provide the country with a _balldlng _^ ultAblo to heri . ower and _greatoess ; but there is a Halt to all things . Comfort may degenerate into effeminate _luxuriousness _, A

      country ' s _greatness neod not bo exhibited at tbe cost of h ; r _subMaEoe . We are certainly overdoing things In Westminister . If you need to be impressed wiih the fact , call upon Lord Ashley , request his lordship to accompany you to a few streets with whioh ho is tolerably well _acqaalnted h y this tlmo _, and whioh are all within five minutes' walk of the new palaces , and then imme . diately afterwards p ' unge Into Ihe gaudy chamber of the HouBe of L _wds . if you do not agree with us that it is as _diBtreaslnsiy painful to seo iho unhappy creatures who _iufest the sinks of Westminster , left to their nnpitled ignorance and vice , m it i , paln ' _u'l y ludicrous to behold Lords Brougham and Cjmpbdl _trarisao ing their fcusi . _ness In tho midst of tho gorgeous g ' moraokcry by which they are surrounded , we bave either mistaken the correctness of our own impressions , or sadly _mieoaloulatodtho cimmon sense , the humanity , and wisdom , of this country .

      It Is time to put an end to tho extravagance of these new Palaces , so called , wa suppose , to excuse the exu beranoe of ornament with whioh the bui'ding is encumbered , although St Jame ;' s is a common building enough acd unfortunate _Buckingham _Pa'acs is a mere group 9- u _^ ly London houses . Mr Barry ' s first design was originally estimated to cost £ 500 . 000 ; but as this Included only tbree _. fifths of the room required , another design was prepared sufficiently large to contain tbe requisite accommodation . The new plan was submitted to the OSHoe of Works ; proper persons were employed under the control and direction of the architect , to _estimate the _oost ; and the office of Works pledged _themselves to parliament that £ 720 . 000 _e-bouM cover tbe ! . '

      who . o expense of tho construction . Upon Ihis pledge , Parliament _accosted tho plan and voted its money , and now , after 3 oraoyears . it suddenly turns out that , without any _acwesslons to the building whatever , but in consequence of ¦ al _terations in the _nrraDgiment , and of ad ditions lu tbe way of ornament , a Bum of cortBinly not _leBS than _£ i , 300 , 000 more will be _tescessary to complete the undertaking . It is to bad . Qf _. _atletnen who have a large _balance at thtir banker's , or _whofcelng bankers , havo « balance of o . ber _ptoples & % their _command , treat tbe whole matur with a very natural contempt of tho vulgar item of expense . Kv Urummond , for instance , _hvquttu Bhoeked to think that Mr _Barry will receive eniy £ 25 , 000 for his cornmWor . — a > sum which the hon . gentleman informs us will "not pay for the architect ' s _peBcflo , and insists that Ifive p <* cent . | ' ' *

      "at least upon the _whohr-ecBt ba voted as tlmt gentleman ' s ' remuneration . On behalf ef the working peeple of _Eagland , whether labourers In the field or at the loom , whether clerks at tho deefe , or literary men at tbeir tables , we protest agSinst tho payment of _^ 100 , _< 300 to Mr Barry for _hi-s superintendence of these works . If by any possible means'government can red'Ctce the _anm already named as tbe certain cost of the palaces , 'it Is _boand to exercise economy « s the steward -of the ' -people . It is madneiB to _perelct ia a lavish _etpendittire of money in the _faco-of the _'wuntrj ' g difflc _^ tieo , with our revenues diminishing , _otrexpenBaa _incnflvsir . g , _flnfl'diBtroBS preva . 1-nt _thronghotetthe land .

We believe' it to bo an aoknor _.-Iedged principle _in'a'etttocture , confinsed by the praefee of all _the-jreat _mastetB of the art , that a perfect building should _tavr-i-1 .

The Corrupt Practices at E _cttions B 11 v _, ai then brought up from the Hob _36 of Commons , read a first

      tlmo , and ordered to ba read a _socond _tima oa Thursday ntxt . Lord _Redeedale suggested that the Bill should not be pressed furtber during tbe present session , it bi-ing now too life properly to consider it . Lord Bhouqfum thought the coarse lately pursued b > ihe _Houae of Commons , of disfranchising boroughs , and suspending their _representation , _reprehensible , It being an innovation up . _^ ntho constitution of tbe realm , which It behoved their lordships to watch most narrowly . A borough _cunli _oaty be disfranchised by an act in wbicb the Soverefga , the Lords , and the Cummins concurred , whereas the Commons alono had recently adopted the course of virtually _cilsfranchiticg boroughs . Tho _Dulto of Wellington _concurred with L _*> rd _Rades .

The chief feature of this conversation was a statement _ma-jely Lord John Russell , to the effect that : he had been _informed by Eirl Grey that it was bis Intention to propoie conditions to the grant to the HnJson ' s Bay _Cjmpany , by which th ? y wouli be bound to do all in their power to favour nnd prcmete the colonise ion of tho island ; and tbat if the grant , as thus _rettrictsd , were aoeeptad by tho company , tho papers _resDeotiac it would than be laid before tho Committee oi

      Privy Council , who ohould decide whether the grant should bo proceeded with or not , Mr _Gladstone thought that any restrictions of the kind might posBlbly prevent the company from doing any positive mischief , but that they could , by no conditions whatever , infuse into it any actual powers for the promotion of colonisation . What he chiefly baaed bis _objiction to tho grant upon was , tho _« fundamental unfitness of tbe Hudson ' s Bay Company for tbo work of colonisation ? Tho house went into _Committee of Supply . Several votes wire taken in connexion with the Miscellaneous _Estimates ' _•; after which , tno hoaso rcouaied , and the _Chairmnn reported progress , acd askod leave to flit again .

' In support of tbis motrcn , tho _ruraourarlj ger . _tloroan made a lengthened speech , the Chief object of which was to Bhow that the _pricolples of toleration , _-rvhich _charac-eriied the system cf education as carriedout in England , were not made applicable'to the clergy and laity of tho Irish Church In _cdnnemm with tho _sysiem of National _Educition-ln Ireland .

      putting an end to tho slave trade , sab ! , he should havo us soon thought of _taking the opinion of Jack 8 hep . pavtl as to tbe best means of putting an end to robbery _ti _. _id murdfr , as tbe opinion of this witness , admitting , as he did , that be had bten engaged in the slave trade , and who consequently in the estimation of tho law of ¦ hie country was a p irate aad a felon , oa such a _subject as that of putting an end to this horrible traffic , in _* hich be h _, id b . en a participator . If the squadron wero to ba _wlthdriwn as _suggested , and tho trade _thrown open to all nations , could there be a doubt

      that the superior activity of Eng lishmen would lead to thsir engrossing the largest _sharo of it ? He entreated their _lordshipB acd the public not to be led away by _piriial statements of the evidence which bad been _reality givun on tho subject , for attempts were being ma «? e to prgudico the publloinlad by directing attention to _prrtions of that evidence only , but to wait for a digest of tho whui" ! of it , oonflieat as he was that U would prove tbat this accursed traffic might be suppressed , _t , nd that tho squadron on tbe coast of Africa hid dore much to effect that desirable _orjjct .

      The Marquis of _Landsdowme , on tho ground that from the terms of the motion , and tho circumstances to wa chals noble frknd bad adverted , it might be inferred that there bad been a remissness on the part of the government in _enrryiEg out existing treaties , Bnd _beoauie the motion _» pem * d to prejudge tbe report of tbo committee of tho House of Commons , felt it to be his duty to move the previous question . He thought before their lordships _pronsuneed an opinion they should bave an opportunity of considering the evidence , * ad then decide © b tbe policy _< bey would adopt , but without

      abating one jot of tbeir determination to bring this _infamoua tn _, ffio to ultimate _cutirpatlon . After referring to Lord _Palmorston ' s _exertieca to enforce existing treaties , and tbe _stepa taken with regard to English _subj'C . _s abroud engaged in this traffic , the noble marquis coneluded by " expressing his hope that the time would never o me when any countenauce Bhould bo _giv _* n , directly or indirectly , to tbe statement that it was the intention of the government to _abandon their determination to put down a traffic which had be : n the curse of the world , _aid at ono period a stigma on the _national character

      of this coun ry _. After seme _obtervations from Lsrd _Beotjghak _, the previous question was agreed to without a division . Oa tho qui _stwn of ihe third reading ef the _Parliamentary Electors Bill , Lord Rbdebdale moved that it be road a second time that d _sy six months , wnen the original motion was carried by a majority of three—the numbers _tbirty-OBe to t > _venty-eigb \ On the motion of Lord _Beaphont _, tbe snbBtitutien of the 5 th r . f January for ihe 11 th October , when the bill is to c . mo ime operation , was _auroed to , aud it passed . The other blllBon the table were advanced a stage , and their lordships adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . — _Soqai BiiL . -At the early _sittiDg the third readinr of this bill waa moved .

      Lord G . _Bentinck moved a _clauso , the object of which was to place the renders of sugar in _England on tbe same _footlag as those of Holland , Belgium , and-Harover , and that they should be permltt _. d , whether the sugar was British , colonial , or foreign , to enter it on paving the highest rate of duty _. After some discussion on thiB proposition , and on the general question and present stats of tbe trade in the West ladle * , tho house divided , when iho motion was negatived by a majority of thirty ; the _numbers—seventy to forty . Tho noble lord then proposed two amendments for the alteration of tbe scale of duties , the first of which was _negaiivtd by a majority of _sixty-tbrca , the numbers —seventeen to eighty ; and tbe second by a majority of sixty five , the numbers—sixteen to eighty , oae ; and the bill passed .

      The- Unlawful Oaths ( Ireland ) Bill was then read a third _tiim and passed , as was also the the Wolverhampton Curacy ( No . 2 ) Bili . The Fever ( Ireland ) Bill , and the Mlllbank Prison Bill , weut severally through committee . The Bankrupt 6 ' _Release Bill waa then read a _secon * time ; after which , at _balf-past three , the sitting was _suspended till ha'f-paBt five . At tbe latter hour the house re-aBiembled . L-. rd G . Bsntincb . moved for reiurns , showing , in _contiguous columns , tho importations of British posses . in

      _sions and of _foreigu _sugsrs _, as given respectively tha monthly returns of the Board of Trade , and in those of the Customs for the months of September , October , _November , and December of last year . He wished the house to be in possession of these returns , as given by tho Bonrd of Trado and by the Customs , becaose n discrepancy had appeared between them to the extent of nearly 10 , 000 tons In two months . It wa 9 hut right that tbo public , particularly that portion of it engaged in the sugar trade , should know which of these _retarss wac correct—as it was obviously essential that they should know on which they were in future to rely .

      Mr Labouchebf . said , tho discrepancies complained of were not mistake . ' , and tho trado could not possibly b & _mislod by them . He explained how they occurred , and hoped tbe noble lord would not think it necessary w per . _seveio with his motion _. Lord Q . Bebtinck . _sai 4 , he was by no means _satUfiad with tho explanation given , and would move for a committee on tho subject ni xt _eession . After considerable discussion the motion was withdrawn , on tho _understanding thr . t government should furnish such _iaformation as would prevent either th © bonce or the trade from falling into any orror oa the subject _.

      _COEBENCV AND CoMMEBOIA I , DlSTEESS . — Mr HEaSIK £ ! then called tbe attention of the house to tho reports ef the committees of eitbor Houae of Parliament on commercial distress and roovid that tbe bouse should , early iu next session , take the same into its serious _consldera _. tion . Tho r _' gbt hon . gentleman entered info a lengthened historical statement of the circumstances which led to tha Bank Charter Act cf 1841 , and after alluding to the events tbat followed , contended that it was clearly established that tho act _t-f 1814 was o total failure , and the house ou _^ ht soon to decide whether it should be persevered lu or otherwise . Three years' experience bad sh & wn that tbe _objictB sought to be attained by that aot had not any one of th _< m beea secured , It bad only ac _» complUhcd the predictions ofits opponents , while

      Itemtirely disappointed the expectations of its promoters ; anil if _au-additional argument was re quired to prove _ita inefficiency , it would be famished by tho fact that _during the last year the govtmment were compelled to suspend Us operation . He then _adverted to the reports _preseated to both houses of parliameBt _. and said that tbe Commons ' committee had , indireot opposition to the preponderance of evidence , reported in favour of the act ; while the LordB ' , whe had had very fow additioaal witnesses before shstn , had reported that ihe act required amendment . Under theee _clreumitauess he hoped the govern _^ ment _would-ote _nec 9 _sslty ( ob it was too late te do so thiB session ) of t & king- thU subject _ioto its serious _considerston , and woald pledge _itsslf to bring the _subjsot f . irwarda aa early as _nossible in the next _sosslan of pare

      li ; tment . Mr DaoMioso thought the governmet would be wrone to pledge itself to any act for next session , for ha en tirely _despaired of ever seeing the currency question _permanently settled . _H" = o _»» B _MrNawDEGiTs considered the wholo currenov cmea . tion a sy _« em that was rotten to the core , and o n * that would bs fraught with the most _frightfgj calal _mitias to us ehould _anotb-r famine afflict us this _veaiT The Chancellor of the _Excheqdeb , while ha all _mittcd tne _importance of tho subject , thought Mr Her ties motion would bo most fruitless , if adopted The best course tho right hou . gentleman _ciuld pursue ' would ba to brir _. g forward ! is motion next session , when the house would give it its _eariiost attention unless it _shanM

      , _happan to bo occupied with more momentous business Tno right hen gentleman had not stated ona reason why this hous 3 should plengo itself now to the course * t should adopt nest session , nor had ho removed a _slnels Objection to such a course as he proposed , ffe fforjM not meet the proposal of Mr Horries with a direct new . tfvo , hut would move tho previous question ; and having stated the course ho intended to pursue , bo proceeded to defend the committee of ( be House of Commons team the charge of having glvon a report against the weisht of evidenoe . Ho defended the general principles of th _« act and deprecate ! the _courea adopted by tbe opponentl of vh _9 bill in putting the construction they had done oa the relaxation that had been authorised by the Kovern . mont during the late _dUtresB . B

      Mr SrooNEa condemned , In the most unqualified manner , the acts „ f 1819 and 1844 , and defended flisoWB views on the subject , at the same time expressing him . self open to oonviotion . Sir R _. Peil went at some length into the currenoy qu , 'B : ion . to chow the _fallaalts oi Mr _Spooner _' _e _vie-w / and could not see how anything oould be gamed bj adopting tho motion before tho house . He deprecated the idea of the government giving a pledge to col-slder tbo subject next session , which ha _conjldcred equivalent to _glvin- a promissory note at sis months . At the proper time for discussion he would be most willing to maintain the propriety of adhering to the reatriotlve clauaeo of the act of loii _, which , in his opinion , prevented tha _dangep of a political panic , in addition to the monetary _prassure in April ; last . With _respeot to the rscoamcndatlon of the Lords' committee , ho should be prepared , at a proper time , to show that tho most imperfect arrangement thai

      could be proposed , wonld be to invest the Bank of England wiih a discretionary power to relax the restrictive clauses of that act . The proper course to adopt would bo for the government to retain in Its own _hande tho p _jwer of relaxing thoBe clauses , as it would be aafer for all interests concerned . Mr Mmnz said , the act of 1810 _wbb _soi _mperfwt that it caused a great d _* al of fluctuation , and that bad that been a proper measure the bill of 1844 W _8 B a _ntcmtOf part of it , ia order to carry It out full y . Although it [ was asserted that tho distress was not aggravated by the _ra tion of that act , it was a singular fact that tbo _vsry day the relaxation was _annouaoed it relieved ths distress , and ths next day the whoh _couatry felt the _fconerlt of it . He bolieved the day would eomo when the right hon , baronot would oo . jo down to the house aad acknowledge that he had been _mistaken ; and when that day arrived , the oountry would have _oause to _rejoice _.

      Mr Home thought that tbe _Commons' Committee had come to a verdict against tho weight _ofevldvnce . and OB . provod of the Lords' C _mmittea report , wbich waa in hie opiaion both fair and honest . Experience was against tho Act ef 1814 , and he regretted the pertinacity with which Sir R . Peel still adhered te it . Mr Hemiibb said be was satisfied with the tone ths

      _Extraordinary _Accident . —On _Friday week as two ladies were riding out in a retired lac ? , at _Mattisball _Bu ,-gh , they observed a cow running towards them in a _fcjate of great exoitement , and apparently mad . On iU approach , they discovered a ehild attached to its tail by the hair , which was wound round hia body . They instantly gave the alarm at ihe nearest house , and assistance being rendered , tbo cow waa secured . The child was , howover , found to be quite dead . The bedy was much bruised , and the head cut and battered in a dreadful manner . Great excitement was caused in Ihe nei _^ _hbourbocd by tbe occurrence , as it appeared a matter of creat improbability that the child could have attached itself _( o

      the cow . The county _coioner , Mr Pilgrim was sent for , and an inquest was held on tbe body on Saturday , when it appeared , from the evidence of a child five or six years old , who was near the spot at the time of the occurrence , that the deceased ( whose name waa Thomas _Ireson , aged 10 years , son of a labourer residing in the parish ) had tied the cow ' s ( ail , which had a great length of hair , round bis body , saying tbat ho was going to have a swing , and the cow started off , dragging the deceased after it . The evidenoe of the surgeon went to show tbat the wound in the head had most probab'y been caused during the progress of the animal , by its coming in contact with the ground ; and a verdict of Accidental Death was returned _.-JV / oi _* Chronicle .
